World War Hulk's Ending Doesn't Make Sense, Marvel Admits
Warning: contains a preview for Maestro: World War M #3!
As the Hulk's dark future self embarks on his own global conflict, Marvel is finally admitting that the ending to its epic World War Hulk event did not make sense. At the height of Hulk's all-out war against Earth's superheroes, when he was at the apex of his rage and strength, he was struck down by Iron Man's orbiting satellite weapons. However, Maestro: World War M is making a point to note this shouldn't have worked.
During the Planet Hulk storyline, Bruce Banner was tricked by his supposed friends, Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Doctor Strange, and Black Bolt — the secret cabal known as Illuminati — and sent to the faraway planet of Sakaar, as a way to stop the threat posed by Hulk forever. The Green Goliath, however, conquered Sakaar, and when he mistakenly believed that a bomb set by the Illuminati had killed millions of people, including his pregnant wife, he came back to Earth to break the so-called heroes and everything standing in his path. This was the most powerful version of the Hulk ever seen, as his rage for the loss of his love and for the betrayal of his friends reached unprecedented heights. Nothing could stop him, as he mercilessly beat up Iron Man's latest Hulkbuster armor, a dark magic-empowered Doctor Strange, and even the mighty Sentry. In the end, Hulk was about to destroy the entire planet before Tony Stark called upon a combined strike from orbital satellites that fired a highly-focused barrage of lasers that finally took down the Hulk.
